Le cinéma comme médiateur linguistique dans le développement des compétences lexicales. Cas des étudiants de 2ème année licence. Université Belhadj Bouchaib – Ain Témouchent

Abstract

This study focuses on the mediating role of cinema in the development of lexical skills among second-year undergraduate students in French as a Foreign Language (FFL). To evaluate the effectiveness of this pedagogical tool, a comparison was established between two approaches: lexical exercises developed after the use of a film excerpt (in the second session) and exercises designed using a traditional method, devoid of filmic support. The analysis of the collected data reveals that cinema exerts a positive, albeit partial, influence on lexical retention in FFL. The obtained results tend to confirm that the integration of cinematic material in the classroom promotes lexical enrichment among undergraduate-level learners.
